REALLY BRIGHT WOMEN.
AS Scarce in Boston as They Arc

Boston women are intelligently acute;
they are mostly born with brains, or. if
they haven't brains, they affect them
ana play they have. They are wide
awake, keen of perception, appreciative
to excess; they believe in education and
mental Improvement; they are morally
unhappy and depressed, owing to eli
matte causes, ,and they are narrow in their
views of the world outside of Boston.
But their brightness, where does it
, come iii? The Scintillations, the nimble
wit, the sense OF humor, which are in

score OF really bright women in Boston.

One OF the most brilliant Bostonians, or,
rather, cosmopolitans, after living ali
over the world, returned here
not long ago, and, in course
OF time, met numerous leading
society women who have been accounted
worth knowing. He was not struck by
the mental or physical charms of any Of
them. Al last quiet, unobtrusive little
person, whose husband carried this citi-
zen OF the world home to dinner one day,

herself. The consequence was obvious.
